Former Chief Justice A B M Khairul Haque has been shown arrested in two separate murder cases filed over incidents during the July anti-discrimination movement in Dhaka’s Jatrabari and Adabor areas. On March 30, 2026, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Jamshed Alam issued the order following hearings in both cases. The hearings were held in Haque’s presence after he was brought to court from prison.
The Jatrabari case involves the killing of madrasa student Arif, for which Sub-Inspector Mahmudul Hasan had sought Haque’s arrest on March 10. The Adabor case concerns the death of garment worker Rubel, with Sub-Inspector Mohammad Tipu Sultan submitting a similar request on March 29. Public Prosecutor Omar Faruk Faruki represented the state, while Haque’s lawyer opposed the arrest orders. The court ultimately granted both requests.
Haque had earlier secured bail in five other cases filed during the interim government period, including one related to the killing of a Jubo Dal activist and others concerning alleged forgery in the caretaker government verdict. He was first detained on July 24 of the previous year from his Dhanmondi residence.
